Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of prune tree (i.e., Prunus domestica) is provided that resulted from a controlled breeding program. The new cultivar exhibits extreme precocity and a vigorous growth habit. Flowers are formed in abundance. Very large early-maturing fruit also is formed in abundance on a regular basis that is dark purple under a greyish and waxy epidermal bloom. The fruit is particularly well suited for the fresh prune market.
